Luxury: Scottsdale/Sedona · Short Term Shopping

• 0:02
  Speaker A: Welcome to Short term Shopping, where we explore homes for sale in the best vacation markets in America. Some homes we do like, some homes we don't like. Brought to you by the short term shop. It's short term shopping. Let's do this. Short term shopping. Luxury. We're in Arizona. How we doing, Leslie?
• 0:31
  Speaker B: I'm doing good. How about you, Luke?
• 0:33
  Speaker A: Doing great. Summer's in full swing. It's a joy. It is. It's hard having the kids home, but it is worth it and it is absolute joy. I love every second of it, even when it's straight. Got a lot more snacks around. I think is.
• 0:53
  Speaker B: Mine is constantly grubhub and want to go somewhere. I'm like, I'm working. I can't.
• 1:00
  Speaker A: Yeah, we got the grubhub this morning for a. She got an acai bowl and did not like it and threw it right in the trash. And I was in the other room and I was like, I totally would have eaten that. What are you doing?
• 1:14
  Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:16
  Speaker A: So that's not the way I grew up anyway. All right, cool. Let's look at some houses. I'm psyched. I like shopping for houses. Let's do this. We're gonna do some higher dollar stuff and I'll let you go ahead and take over.
• 1:31
  Speaker B: All right, well, I'm doing a little bit of a mix for Sedona and Scottsdale and one Paradise Valley just for the heck of it.
• 1:42
  Speaker A: Looks good. Looks good. Okay, Here we go. 90 Yucca Drive.
• 1:46
  Speaker B: Yeah. So this is a new build, and it's actually pretty rare to get like a newly built property in Sedona. Land is sacred up there. So unless you have land and you're willing to take on the building cost normal. Normally it's, you know, resales. So this is a brand new property. Five bedroom, which is pretty spectacular for Sedona as well. Four bath, it says six bedroom plus. So that tells me that there might be a room in this property that can be utilized. An additional bedroom, maybe It's a den, office, bonus room of some sort. So five, six bedroom is amazing for the Sedona area. I did see a little peekaboo of the red rocks in the corner there. So this one has some red rock views. Yeah, there we go. The lot size is large, so there's, you know, it's. It's buildable, which is nice for a Sedona property as well. Pools are really hard to come by in these properties. If you can build one, revenue potential increases by at least 50k is the average of What I'm seeing. So to have a pool would be probably the goal. To build a pool though is not as easy as it would be in Scottsdale. You're dealing with, you know, tougher dirt, the rocks. So excavation costs, you know, increase significantly. So to build a pool, it's probably at minimum 75k to 100. And that's just for like, you know, a smaller, basic, you know, not super grand type of pool. Whereas in Scottsdale, 100k can get you all the bells and whistles of a pool. So just cost difference are a little, a little bit more extreme in this area. And again, it's due to the, to the rock. It's harder to, to dig in that dirt, but the views are phenomenal and that's kind of what draws people in. Revenue potential can increase significantly just by having a property in Sedona vs. Scottsdale. I'm a fan of both, but I love being in Sedona. The temperature changes about 2015 to 20 degrees in the summer. So that's pretty significant when you're 115 or 120 in the Valley. And then of course you have hiking and creeks and lots of fun outdoorsy things to do. I did want to pull up a couple of properties that already have a pool because they are harder to come by. This one's kind of in. So this one was in the, I want to say the West Sedona. I pulled up a couple. Yeah, so this is in the West Sedona. Hold on.
• 4:26
  Speaker A: That first one, the rooftop deck, is that normal?
• 4:30
  Speaker B: No. A lot of people want them and it is not normal. You know, it takes a lot to get a rooftop deck. You want to make sure that everything's stable and then it can hold the people and you know, a seating area. A lot of people. One of my clients just bought one that has a rooftop deck. It's beautiful. And I saw the design scope that he's going to do and it's just going to be amazing. He's going to have a little fire pit area and a seating area, stargazing telescope. It's going to look great. But yeah, so no, they're hard to come by. Pools, you know, the rooftop decks, if you can incorporate them, you know the better. But yeah, they don't generally come with them. This one. Oops, sorry. This one has the pool and, and the, the spa attached. It is facing the red rock. So really this is the only area of the property where you can see the showcasing of the red rocks from the pool space, which isn't a bad view. They're just kind of doing a zoom in of everything. In Sedona you'll get a lot of, a lot of those larger windows to showcase the red rocks if there are views of them. Obviously this one is a current short term rental. I've been to this property. I've shown it a couple of times. For most, I wouldn't say it's a bad location. It's just it makes people hesitant because it's in the near the village of Oak Creek, which is a little bit further away from West Sedona. I don't think it's a bad area. I just think that, you know, it will give you the opportunity to stand out because there's not a lot of properties that are worth renting in this area. When I say worth renting, I mean space, views or things to do. This one has a larger lot space as well. I think that a pickleball court can be added to this one. My market pickleball court is all the rave and Sedona is, is no exception. It's super popular in Scottsdale, but I've seen some properties incorporate them in Sedona. And this also has a little casita. This is the casita area.
• 6:54
  Speaker A: That first one was totally built for short term as well.
• 6:58
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 6:59
  Speaker A: Is that common? Is there a permit on them?
• 7:03
  Speaker B: So permits don't transfer here. You do have to register with the city. The permit is $250 per property per calendar year. It's super easy to get permitting, but.
• 7:16
  Speaker A: So you can just rent it or not rent it, no problem, right?
• 7:19
  Speaker B: Yeah. And I think this one said that. Yeah, perfect for SDR. And it comes fully furnished. Sleep 16.
• 7:26
  Speaker A: Yeah, this.
• 7:26
  Speaker B: So this one may have been a short term rental. Again, this one, five bedroom, four bath. Also in the West Sedona area. This one's been sitting for a little bit longer, but the lot size is pretty large. So that tells me again, room for growth, which is always nice for these properties. The more amenities here, the better. You know, resort style vacation. This one doesn't have a built in pool. These are swim spas. But I've seen some really great revenue numbers on even swim spas. Just anything that has a water source that you can get in and relax and have fun with the kids. Those are what people are looking for the most. So if you don't have space to build a pool, maybe because the dirt or it's too elevated or the yard, you know, the yard isn't as large. Swim spas are a good alternative. This One's a little bit different design. You know, it's a little bit. It feels a little bit dated. So I feel like furnishings definitely can elevate, like the flooring and the paint. This one has carpet. I'm not a fan of the carpet, but, you know, to each their own.
• 8:44
  Speaker A: A little dated, a little dated.
• 8:46
  Speaker B: And it's darker too. I'm not a fan of the pictures either, but, you know,
• 8:54
  Speaker A: but they did put yoga mats.
• 8:56
  Speaker B: They put the. So, yeah, yoga. Anything outdoors. So Sedona is kind of known to be more of a spiritual location. You know, people travel for the. The vortex and all of that. Lots of yoga, lots of meditation. Yeah, people try and incorporate a little bit of all of that in the properties as well.
• 9:16
  Speaker A: I see two swim spas next to each other.
• 9:18
  Speaker B: Yeah, they tried to make it extra large. I was thinking if it's adult and kid, I don't know.
• 9:27
  Speaker A: Huh. And a mini split, that's common.
• 9:30
  Speaker B: Mini splits are common. Yeah.
• 9:33
  Speaker A: Central hvac is not common.
• 9:36
  Speaker B: H vac is. So it's a good mix. More. More times than not, it has the H vac. If there is a mini split, it's likely because there was a room addition or a garage conversion. I was in a property just a couple of days ago where the whole house had mini split. Sorry. Yeah, the mini split and not H vac. I thought that was odd. But maybe it was cheaper to kind of do that route. I'm not sure. This one I pulled up just because of the views. This one's kind of more near the tlacapake area, so like a little bit opposite of West Sedona.
• 10:18
  Speaker A: Oh, this is super cute.
• 10:20
  Speaker B: I like the personality. The Saltillo tile, it really has. It's unique, but once you get to where you could see the views, I mean, it's kind of right smack dab in your face.
• 10:34
  Speaker A: Look at that.
• 10:37
  Speaker B: Yes, it's very, very. This one's not the couch.
• 10:41
  Speaker A: Not the. I don't like the couch, but the house.
• 10:43
  Speaker B: The couch doesn't look comfy, does it?
• 10:44
  Speaker A: It just looks. I don't know what it looks like. It looks like West Elm. Like, I don't know. It's not my style. What do I know about couches? But this flooring and the ceiling and even the. You'd have to go back. It looked like maybe it was a cow, I think. No, don't bother.
• 11:02
  Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
• 11:02
  Speaker A: But on the wall, even. That's my style. I like. Yeah, it's a cow. Yeah, that's pretty cool.
• 11:10
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 11:12
  Speaker A: The fireplace, I like that.
• 11:17
  Speaker B: This one had some really great.
• 11:19
  Speaker A: Pretty sick view, too, right?
• 11:21
  Speaker B: Yes. On the deck. It's like, right in your face. Breathtaking, which I loved. But all of the windows, too, strategically. They have, you know, the red rocks.
• 11:31
  Speaker A: And when was this built?
• 11:34
  Speaker B: This one was 1998, 2005.
• 11:39
  Speaker A: Oh, I was off. Not bad, though. I was pretty close.
• 11:42
  Speaker B: Not bad.
• 11:42
  Speaker A: You know that beige is coming back. It is. Gray is completely out, like, to the point where it is a joke how bad gray is out. But the beige and the tans. Not tan, but more of a. Just a soft white. Yeah, we're seeing that a lot lately. And it. Actually, I'm starting. I used to hate beige, but I'm telling you, it's starting to look cool again. Now. That being said, you still do have. Because these bathrooms are beige, but it's. They're still. You know, they're still 20 years old. Doesn't mean they don't need updated. But that color is. Is not necessarily looking old anymore.
• 12:22
  Speaker B: I agree. A lot of the Scottsdale properties, which
• 12:25
  Speaker A: we'll see, will have Casita set a second house.
• 12:28
  Speaker B: Nope. This is the. This is the entrance.
• 12:31
  Speaker A: No pool.
• 12:33
  Speaker B: No pool. But it does have the hot tub.
• 12:35
  Speaker A: Once I get up into the 2 million range, don't I kind of want a pool? Or they're just that uncommon.
• 12:41
  Speaker B: They really are that uncommon. So this one has a large lot. I've not had the opportunity to get into this property because of the booking schedule, but I've been curious to see if there is room to add a pool. They don't do. Yeah, they don't do a good job in the pictures, kind of showcasing the lot. So I can't tell from any of the pictures if something can be added. If I'm looking, though, at the listing, it tells me that there should be potential, but it might be on a mountain. So if it's, you know, elevated and, you know, just. There might not be a real space for a pool. So that is to be determined. Right now. They have the hot tub, and they have the fire pit, and it all looks like it's all on the deck. So that also kind of gives me an indication that there's probably not a lot of the ground area that can be utilized.
• 13:38
  Speaker A: This area, it reminds me in pictures a lot of the Indio area, which is not that funny. It's like five hours or so.
• 13:47
  Speaker B: Yeah. Yes.
• 13:48
  Speaker A: We've stayed there. You know that we went one time for a concert at this. Where Coachella is. Yeah, the fairgrounds or whatever. The Polo Grounds. And this These houses, somewhat in the scenery remind me of that a little bit. But in that area, every house has a pool. So, yeah, I kind of got to get that out of my brain. It's like when I. When I'm looking at these, I just expect them to have a pool, but that's not the case.
• 14:13
  Speaker B: It is not. It's very rare. So this one, this next one I have been to also in West Sedona. The drive to the property is gorgeous. I mean, you do have red rock views, kind of getting into the neighborhood, up to the property, but interestingly enough, when you're there, there are no views. But this one has a newly built pool. It's very, you know, four bedrooms, four bath, which is nice. A bathroom for every bedroom. It looks very private. Yeah, very private, very spacious. So room to add on to, you know, to the yard with additional amenities. It's a heated pool here. You have to have the heated pools. Obviously the climate is a lot cooler than the Valley, so if you don't have a heated pool, you're not really going to get very much use out of it. So. Heated pool. This one has the older beige on the walls.
• 15:15
  Speaker A: Yeah, I still don't mind it.
• 15:18
  Speaker B: No. And in person, it actually doesn't look bad at all. This one's an active short term rental as well. So they have the hot tub, they have the pool, and the rest is just kind of.
• 15:35
  Speaker A: I like this. This is nice.
• 15:36
  Speaker B: The pool.
• 15:38
  Speaker A: I like that other house better. Doodle bug. I like Doodle Bug better.
• 15:43
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 15:44
  Speaker A: But this one's got the pool and that's making it a tough sell here. So the carpet kind of ruined it for me there. But the soaker tub. Okay, that's cool. You got a real, you got. It's very New Mexico kind of a vibe.
• 15:58
  Speaker B: Yeah, I think those. I mean, so I've had all different, you know, request I want something that I can kind of keep the personality of Sedona, or I want something a little bit modern, but throw in the decor that still, you know, embodies Sedona and the Southwest, like you said, vibe. So I've seen them done really well, even if it's a completely modern property. But yeah, I mean, it's in a great area. This one's surrounded by natural forest. So that's nice too, because you can kind of literally take a hike from the property if you wanted.
• 16:37
  Speaker A: I like that. The privacy is a big sell. The pool is a big sell.
• 16:40
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 16:41
  Speaker A: Flooring's a little off for me, but that's fixable and no views. So. But right now, in between this one, the dove wing and the doodlebug, this
• 16:50
  Speaker B: one is though driving in the neighborhood. It is. It does feel more secluded. So if that's what someone's going for, that one, that property definitely would be a perfect match. I did go a little bit above the. The 3 million because I did want to showcase a little bit more.
• 17:05
  Speaker A: Oh, there's no limits. We don't have rules.
• 17:07
  Speaker B: Okay. Okay.
• 17:08
  Speaker A: Also, I used to own a house on a. On Sugarloaf.
• 17:12
  Speaker B: Really?
• 17:13
  Speaker A: This is a different town.
• 17:15
  Speaker B: Sugarloaf is one of the. One of the Red Rock mountains.
• 17:19
  Speaker A: I'm pretty sure Sugarloaf Drive in the Smokies. I mean it was either drive or lane. Anyway. All right. This is cool. No flat roof here.
• 17:27
  Speaker B: No.
• 17:27
  Speaker A: Which is interesting from a management perspective. That back section might be a little. Yeah. There's a little flat.
• 17:33
  Speaker B: There's a little. Yeah.
• 17:34
  Speaker A: You know, if it's the same roofer, because we're, you know, where I live, you'd have to have a different roofer for the flat and the pitched. But probably the same company.
• 17:43
  Speaker B: It's. Yeah. And we have a couple of different ones to choose from in Sedona. So.
• 17:49
  Speaker A: Yeah. Because we're where I'm at. Where. I mean I've got properties in lots of states, but every state where I operate the pitched roof guy is different than the flat roof guy. You'd have to call two guys. Two people.
• 18:02
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 18:03
  Speaker A: Girl guy to get that job done. But it looks like every one of these has flat and pitched, so it's a different vibe. Fantastic views.
• 18:15
  Speaker B: Yep.
• 18:16
  Speaker A: All right. Sugarloaf. This again. This is another million above the last two we looked at. So.
• 18:22
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 18:23
  Speaker A: I would assume the square. Yeah. Great floors. Love those floors. Don't love that floor.
• 18:32
  Speaker B: Don't love that one. Yeah. You know, you could tell that there's some upgrades kind of in this property.
• 18:39
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 18:40
  Speaker B: Deposits. Yeah.
• 18:43
  Speaker A: This is a high dollar house.
• 18:45
  Speaker B: Yes.
• 18:45
  Speaker A: But again, probably early 2000s.
• 18:48
  Speaker B: This one was built in. Yeah. 2018. 3,300 square feet.
• 18:55
  Speaker A: Brand new.
• 18:56
  Speaker B: Yeah. Large lot size, which is nice.
• 19:04
  Speaker A: How long has it been on the market?
• 19:07
  Speaker B: This one? Yeah. 182 days.
• 19:12
  Speaker A: What did they pay for it?
• 19:14
  Speaker B: Let's. Let's dig in details say. Okay, so 2.85 in 2022.
• 19:31
  Speaker A: Yeah. There's still. I mean do you. Do you really deserve. What is that? 650, 000 in four years. You know what I mean? Like this. We're still living in that world where sellers are somewhat like, just crazy, you know,
• 19:52
  Speaker B: that probably is why they've been sitting for so long there. May not. So this tells me this is professionally managed. So they have a property manager here.
• 20:07
  Speaker A: This thing is pretty insane, though.
• 20:09
  Speaker B: Yeah. There's no pool, just a hot tub
• 20:13
  Speaker A: and a chain link fence for 3.4 million.
• 20:19
  Speaker B: And this might be a garage conversion or just an additional room.
• 20:26
  Speaker A: It looks like that basement type of thing off the back of the house. That fence is not doing it for me.
• 20:34
  Speaker B: Yeah, the back fence is meh. But yeah, I mean, it's. It's a. It's a beautiful property with some really phenomenal views, which is probably why it's elevated in price point.
• 20:44
  Speaker A: Love it so far. I think I'm still on the doodlebug. Oh, what's this?
• 20:47
  Speaker B: I liked this one because I kind of like the vibe of this property.
• 20:52
  Speaker A: Now this one definitely looks a little more like a million dollars more than doodle Bug.
• 20:57
  Speaker B: Yeah, it is quite a bit larger. Let's just kind of go around.
• 21:01
  Speaker A: Sick.
• 21:02
  Speaker B: Yeah. 1995 build. 4, 000 square feet, four bedroom, three bath, 42, 000 square foot lot. But yeah.
• 21:12
  Speaker A: Oh, the garage. I'm a sucker for a garage. I'm sold. Look at that. Okay, now my next question is, what's the view? Because it looks like maybe not that much. Maybe
• 21:27
  Speaker B: it's. It's different. But I really like this room. I thought that was really cool.
• 21:32
  Speaker A: So cool. I love that. Looks like a museum. I love that. Love it. With the sunken. Oh, man, this thing's cool. Okay, you got a dedicated office. We're starting to get into some carpet, but carpet seems to be pretty common in your area.
• 21:57
  Speaker B: It's a hit and miss. This one's like a. What is it, a workout room? Ballet room, but no pool. So
• 22:09
  Speaker A: no pool at 4 million.
• 22:11
  Speaker B: Oh, wait, actually, I stand correctly.
• 22:13
  Speaker A: I think it does have a pool.
• 22:14
  Speaker B: There it is.
• 22:15
  Speaker A: Yeah. Let me see.
• 22:17
  Speaker B: There it is.
• 22:18
  Speaker A: Yeah. Love that. What's up? What's with the no good pictures of the pool?
• 22:22
  Speaker B: I know.
• 22:25
  Speaker A: That's cool. So cool. Holy crap. Open your wallet for this bad boy. This thing is sick.
• 22:36
  Speaker B: Oh, there's some peekaboo views back in the corner there.
• 22:39
  Speaker A: View there. So it's a little short on views.
• 22:44
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 22:45
  Speaker A: In the home.
• 22:48
  Speaker B: There they are.
• 22:48
  Speaker A: There you go.
• 22:49
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 22:51
  Speaker A: Okay. That's from the porch.
• 22:54
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 22:55
  Speaker A: Zoomed in. Look at that.
• 22:58
  Speaker B: Oh, look, there's hiking trails. So maybe that's goodness part of the drive.
• 23:02
  Speaker A: It's got like a.
• 23:03
  Speaker B: This looks like a little trolley or something.
• 23:07
  Speaker A: It's like a lift.
• 23:08
  Speaker B: Yeah. There's a little bit of down to the water. Yeah.
• 23:13
  Speaker A: Holy crap. This thing is.
• 23:14
  Speaker B: Okay.
• 23:17
  Speaker A: Okay, I'm in.
• 23:19
  Speaker B: So. Yeah. And it's a large lot size, so if you wanted to kind of all
• 23:23
  Speaker A: the way down to the creek. Okay. What's the purchase history on this thing, the days on market? What'd they pay for it? I'm in love.
• 23:31
  Speaker B: So 294. They've not had a price adjustment at all. So it's set at 3.5.
• 23:38
  Speaker A: You know how those sellers are.
• 23:40
  Speaker B: Yes. I will say Sedona doesn't really leave money on the table. So price adjustments aren't like a big. So 2.97 is what they bought it on at 21. Yeah.
• 23:56
  Speaker A: Another damn Covid buyer. And they paid cash.
• 24:01
  Speaker B: And they paid cash.
• 24:04
  Speaker A: Yeah. So most likely this is a super wealthy person that, you know, I hate the stereotype. Everybody's different. But in a lot of cases, this type of a seller profile is in absolutely no hurry to sell. But you never know. But again, once you got you get into something like this, this is, you know, you can afford it or you can't. You know what I mean? Like, are we really going to be asking these folks for $400,000 off and expecting it? No, probably not.
• 24:40
  Speaker B: I would still try.
• 24:42
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 24:42
  Speaker B: Why not?
• 24:43
  Speaker A: You try?
• 24:43
  Speaker B: Yeah, why not? I mean the worst they could say is no. I've been surprised with some of my clients where they're like 200k off and I'm like, okay, let's do it. And then we get it accepted. So you just never know.
• 24:57
  Speaker A: This thing is seriously sick. Love every second of it. I think doodlebug's still on the top of my list though. I wish it had a pool, but same.
• 25:06
  Speaker B: And I think too that's probably not being here and being able to give you some additional insight just from viewing it. I do feel like there's probably not the land space to build on for a pool, which is probably why it's been sitting for a bit. I've noticed more times, just as I've been meeting people interested in Sedona, that the goal is to build a pool. If it doesn't have one that never. That never really used to be a thing. You know, having a pool in your mind initially when you're looking for a property, I see that more common and I think it's because of the revenue potential. Now we're going into the Valley. So, Scott, still six bedroom at just above 2 million. That's. That's pretty rare. Six bedrooms, five bathrooms, 25,000 square foot lot. So I liked it for all of those reasons. The bedroom count, the lot size and inside, just. Just the backyard potential, too. That's the draw. Pickleball court. The inside could use a little bit of modifications and updating, but it's not terrible. One level shorter, shorter ceilings, all flat roof.
• 26:33
  Speaker A: We got an outdoor kitchen and a pool. Looks like maybe an older build, maybe 80s, 90s.
• 26:39
  Speaker B: Yeah. This one's probably. Yeah. 77, actually.
• 26:43
  Speaker A: Oh, 70s. All right. You gotta. You gotta. Tennis, pickleball, basketball combo.
• 26:48
  Speaker B: Yes. That's actually pretty common here. If people are building the pickleball courts, they're adding the basketball, you know, net thing.
• 26:59
  Speaker A: We're actually. We're actually starting to see tennis make a resurgence where we are in Florida.
• 27:04
  Speaker B: Really?
• 27:04
  Speaker A: Yeah. It seems like pickleball kind of, you know, got huge and then. And now it's like almost increased the popularity of the 10. It's all. We're getting to the point because where we live is there's tennis clubs like every 200 yards. You know, like condo buildings with a tennis club. And the tennis clubs are starting to get jam packed. And it's almost starting to become like. I hate to say this because there's some badasses playing pickleball, but, like, the people that don't want to move around that much are doing the pickleball and the. And the real athletes are doing the tennis. That's kind of the way things are going here in Florida. And I like it. I play tennis and it's a lot of fun and the kids play and we. We love it. I. I do not like pickleball, though. It was way too. I couldn't do it. It was too hard. I felt claustrophobic.
• 27:56
  Speaker B: My husband does the pickleball tournament.
• 27:58
  Speaker A: Oh, really?
• 27:58
  Speaker B: He's all in.
• 28:00
  Speaker A: Is he good?
• 28:02
  Speaker B: He. He is actually really good. He's like, so hard. He comes from playing baseball. Like, he played baseball through high school, got the. Got the scholarship. So he's a really good, like, I don't know, he's really good with coordination. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but he is pretty good. I'll never play with him, that's for sure.
• 28:26
  Speaker A: I did not. I. I'm better at tennis. Pickleball was. I was getting my ass kicked by, you know, people that just had their hip replaced.
• 28:34
  Speaker B: Yeah, it's. I don't. He tries to explain the game to me and I'm just like, that sounds too much for me.
• 28:43
  Speaker A: I don't know a lot of angles.
• 28:44
  Speaker B: Yeah, it's a lot of like wrist movement too. I don't know geometry. He loves it though. I mean, he goes daily.
• 28:53
  Speaker A: Every day.
• 28:54
  Speaker B: Oh my gosh. Almost. Yeah, like every day. They lifetime is like a big gym here and he has people that are like, let you know you want to do a two on two or whatever. I don't know. I don't know the lingo. I just know that he's there every day because there's always a game that they're all playing every single day for hours and hours.
• 29:16
  Speaker A: Nice.
• 29:19
  Speaker B: Back to shopping.
• 29:21
  Speaker A: Yeah. Buy a house.
• 29:23
  Speaker B: All right, so this one I liked because again, the five bedrooms, still a decent size lot. 15,000 square foot lot. I like the interior of this one. This one, you know, 42 days on the market, so. So not too long, but at the price point expected. I just think it's really nice and clean and you know, aesthetically what people like when they're buying in Scottsdale or staying in Scottsdale.
• 30:01
  Speaker A: Yep. Backsplash is sweet.
• 30:03
  Speaker B: Yeah, it's cool. Open concept, the sliding doors. So inside, outside feel.
• 30:12
  Speaker A: This is the seventies one.
• 30:13
  Speaker B: This one. This one is. Well, it's actually the Same build year, 1977, but very well updated. Yes. So a nice comparison.
• 30:25
  Speaker A: It's actually a little more modern and updated than that 2018 one we looked at.
• 30:29
  Speaker B: Yes.
• 30:33
  Speaker A: Spent some money on this. It's got a bidet. That's cool. Yeah, that's a winner there. I like that one.
• 30:45
  Speaker B: Yeah, this one's very nice one.
• 30:47
  Speaker A: Crazy about the one before it.
• 30:50
  Speaker B: And these are all the Scottsdale ones that I've pulled are all in the magic zip code. So north Scottsdale, pretty, pretty popular location. All right, the next One is a 1974, four bedroom, four bath, 17,000 square foot lot. Again in, you know, the magic zip code of Scottsdale, but also nicely updated. This is three years older than the last two that we've seen in terms of build age. I pulled this one because there's just a lot of dead space in the yard. I know that they have that putting green kind of smack dab in the middle, but I see the potential for, you know, changing that side yard to be a little bit more amenity heavy than what they currently have. Just a lot of dead space.
• 32:11
  Speaker A: This looks like it could rent pretty good.
• 32:14
  Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, all of these in this area, with the size of the. The yards and then the, the upgrades that they've, they've done to the properties can all rent really well. I liked this one as well, six bedroom, six bathroom, which I mean a bathroom for every bedroom. Seven bedroom plus. So it looks like there might be some bonus room in lot size. Over 30,000 square ft. Also updated a lot. A lot has been updated in this property. It is a 1975 build, 4,300 square foot property in a great area actually. But this one has that pickleball court
• 33:00
  Speaker A: very well.
• 33:02
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 33:02
  Speaker A: They spend money on it.
• 33:04
  Speaker B: Yes. Designated office. This is probably that seven. The seven bedroom plus this one has a casita. So we're currently in the casita right now. So that's the whole lot. This was just like a portion of the backyard over here to the corner where those lights are. That's where the pickleball court is. So it's a very large lot with lots of things to do. And this is all on. On the same property.
• 33:36
  Speaker A: This one's a bit of an upgrade from the previous one, but they're very similar. Yes, I like that. 2.2002.09 windrows. I do think so far that's a front runner for maybe best rental as far as how much you paid for it versus how much it would rent. Easy to, easy to keep the occupancy high, that kind of thing. I think for a personal purchase. I'm still going back to the. Whatever the hell that one.
• 34:07
  Speaker B: Doodlebug.
• 34:07
  Speaker A: Doodlebug.
• 34:08
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 34:12
  Speaker A: Okay.
• 34:14
  Speaker B: So another flat roof. This one feels like a freshly remodeled property as well. I like the color schemes. And these are all super close together actually. So they're all kind of in the general.
• 34:36
  Speaker A: Yeah. So if I wanted to come look, we could bang them out pretty.
• 34:38
  Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. The only thing about this one and I've noticed is it, it seems to be off of a major road. I. I get a lot of questions about that. I always say it's personal preference. Right. Like personally, if it bothers you, then you know, it may not be the deal for you. But generally speaking as a rental, I say as long as you disclose everything, you have the appropriate pictures and you're not being misleading. Usually that doesn't tend to bother people. It's a natural noise barrier from your neighbors as well. You know, natural noise kind of just drowns out any guest noise when they're in the backyard or what have you. Ways to combat even just noise. Entering into your area would be a lot of the ficus, the hedging, the privacy. They call them the Hollywood hedges. You know, the. The laurels. They look really pretty and when they grow, they grow really thick, really fast, really tall. And it just kind of drowns out outside noise and inside noise too. So it's, it's just a privacy hedge. But they're, they're beautiful and they serve a purpose. This one's right off of Cactus Road. So this one I threw in because again, bedroom count lot size. A large property and it's an active short term rental. Not really a fan of the interior as much, but I do see room for improvement on this one.
• 36:16
  Speaker A: I like it.
• 36:17
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 36:18
  Speaker A: Oh, that's cool. That's cool.
• 36:21
  Speaker B: I liked the backyard. So the water slide with you know, the natural rock into a water slide, the little grotto underneath. They have the attached spa and then you know, the jacuzzi up top there as well. The hot tub, sunken in, little fireplace seating area. So I really like this one with what they've done to the backyard. They have the putting green, they have extra space for whatever built in kitchen with the seating area. It does have, you know, pickleball and basketball court back there. Lots, lots and lots to do. And then we have Paradise Valley. So you know, I get asked about Paradise Valley, but the price point is always just kind of. It's at least 2 million to even, to even find anything that isn't a complete tear down. It's a great area outside of Scottsdale. Super luxury. Usually the yards and properties are bigger in this area. I pulled this one because it's, you know, has some nice updated features to it.
• 37:37
  Speaker A: Purchase history.
• 37:39
  Speaker B: Yeah. This one. So it's a five bedroom, 35,000 square foot lot. Currently two point just under three million. It has dropped price at least once and it was purchased. For 1.425 in 2022, all cash.
• 38:02
  Speaker A: But they flipped it.
• 38:03
  Speaker B: But they flipped it. It looks like. Yeah, it looks like a flipper. They've done a, a nice job with the details and updates.
• 38:14
  Speaker A: Been for sale for a while.
• 38:16
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 38:16
  Speaker A: How long?
• 38:17
  Speaker B: This one has been for sale for 190 days since November.
• 38:28
  Speaker A: So he's probably renting it. But it's empty.
• 38:32
  Speaker B: It is empty.
• 38:37
  Speaker A: Some furniture. Could you rent it? No, I don't think you're renting that.
• 38:40
  Speaker B: I think this is probably staged or some, some items have been rem.
• 38:52
  Speaker A: This is a full retail, I've got to have this house type of a situation.
• 38:57
  Speaker B: Yeah. What I liked about this house, even though there's not a lot going on in the backyard, there's a lot of space to add on to the backyard which again here amenities is kind of what drives people. Everyone wants to be outdoors when they're here. So the More things that you have entertainment wise and you know, outside the better. Even if you have a smaller lot size, I think that you can still, you know, fill your space with things to do and it doesn't have to be pickleball courts and you know, it doesn't have to be all the big things, but if you can get things that entertain people here, I mean that's really what is the most important for properties in my market. And that. That was all of them.
• 39:49
  Speaker A: All right, let's recap.
• 39:51
  Speaker B: Yes.
• 39:51
  Speaker A: 64th. Go all the way down to the bottom. Coolest backyard.
• 40:02
  Speaker B: Oh, this one. Yeah.
• 40:03
  Speaker A: Yeah. I do think that Ludlow was my favorite all around rental.
• 40:16
  Speaker B: This one.
• 40:17
  Speaker A: Yeah, that's my favorite rental. Seems to be in a great rental neighborhood. It's got all the amenities and it's got everything.
• 40:24
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 40:24
  Speaker A: Very nicely updated. Price seems fairly reasonable. I just feel like this thing's going to be pretty easy to rent. All right, and then we're going to go up to the 3 5. This one gets the most badass award.
• 40:45
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 40:47
  Speaker A: This is the, the money is no object award. This is. I want a house in Sedona
• 40:56
  Speaker B: off of the creek. I'm sorry, off of the creek, no less.
• 41:00
  Speaker A: It's so sick with that creek. And the garage is bad. Those garage doors are high $.
• 41:08
  Speaker B: Yeah. I like the cohesiveness of the garage doors and you know, this front facing, it's like a metal
• 41:19
  Speaker A: badass. And then my favorite for like personal use. Not gonna rent and don't want to spend as much money as, as east wing is the doodle bug.
• 41:29
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 41:29
  Speaker A: Most care. We're gonna give this the most character award.
• 41:33
  Speaker B: I just think this one. Yeah. I love the interior of this one, but the deck area, I mean the out. The outside space is gorgeous. It really does showcase what people are, are, are the, the demand of the red rocks.
• 41:53
  Speaker A: Just so much character. And that view is sick. Really. The only downside is even the little
• 42:00
  Speaker B: javelina guy there, he's cute. They're not cute in person, but that one's cute.
• 42:06
  Speaker A: Sink. Badass. So badass. The pool is really the only thing stopping me on this one.
• 42:15
  Speaker B: Yeah.
• 42:16
  Speaker A: But again, we don't have to have a pool in this area. Let's get over that.
• 42:19
  Speaker B: Right? I mean, you absolutely do not have to if you did. I, I still see really high income potential for properties in Sedona that do not have a pool. So you do not have to have a pool. If you can have a pool at least 50k more. So it does increase revenue potential. But sometimes it's not always feasible because, you know, some of them are right smack dab on a mountain. And just the grading and all of that, like, it just. You wouldn't be able to add anything much from this one probably is just. That's it, you know, the deck and it looked like a wraparound deck. That's probably all you have for the outdoor space and that little space over there with the fire pit.
• 43:10
  Speaker A: So pretty sick, though. All right, well, I appreciate it. Thank you so much.
• 43:15
